Upton equals errors
You're right. Fantasy baseball is to blame. And as the 2004 Chappy Ballzack Fantasy Baseball Blowout League (CBLB) and current last place team, I can assure Placido Polonco is much more deserving than Upton. Upton boots more balls than a sassy Cowgirl at a rodeo, and strikes out more than any other 2Ber in the Bigs.
Now I know you're a St. Louis native and probably grew up watching Tommy Herr toss more balls into right field than any of us and think an error prone 2Ber can play for an effective team like Herr did, but Upton's juggling act has cost his teams runs and games. Sure, he's fast, has power and has maybe more potential than any 2ber since Ryan Sandburg, but he aint there yet. He needs some time to figure out how to put the bat on the ball, then put the ball in his glove, then throw to first. Polonco's been deserving for years and is that polished fella Upton should dream about becoming.
On the Bonds thing...we'll you're just insane.
Regards,
Chappy Ballzack.
